tablet_phoneOnline radiology marketplace AffordAScan, which provides comparisons of healthcare cost and quality, as well as takes appointment requests, recently changed its name to ContactMyDoc in order to reflect the company’s full range of services for healthcare providers, patients and employers.

In addition to comparing radiology services based on cost, quality and their proximity to the diagnostic imaging provider, ContactMyDoc enables patients to request appointments for free online so they can get same or next day access to quality care at a price they can afford. The site also assists providers in receiving referrals, reducing no shows, filling open time slots, and boosting operational efficiency. According to the company, employers can benefit from the site’s cost transparency by helping their employees make more informed decisions about their healthcare spending.

“We are very excited about rebranding AffordAScan as ContactMyDoc,” said ContactMyDoc CEO and co-founder Harsh Singh. “This new identity will allow us to build broader awareness of how our services promote healthcare cost transparency, improve access to affordable care, and help patients and employers make more informed decisions about their healthcare spend.”

Aiming to increase operational efficiency for providers and add a level of convenience for patients, the company has also developed software to improve communication between patients and healthcare providers. ContactMyDoc also plans to extend the marketplace model to other areas in healthcare.
